Pregnant at 40 & I am 12 weeks

I went to the dr. the other day and ever since I have been worried sick. I feel like all I heard them say was, because of your age we have to do this test, because of your age we have to do this screen, because of your age you are high risk. I understand they have to do their job and yes tell me everything I need to know. But when I left I almost felt like they took my excitement and joy away. Like "because of my age" I have done something wrong for wanting to have this sweet baby. I have spent the rest of my week praying and all I can think about is my test results. They tell you not to stress but after that visit I feel like that's all I have done. I am trying to be positive and put it in God's hands and pray for a healthy baby! On the bright side "because of my age" I do get more ultrasounds so I can see my lil one at every visit and we will find out the gender sooner through bloodwork! I am gonna be ok and so is my baby!
